INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - Diamond Peak is offering Learn to Ski and Burton Learn to Ride packages for $29, Jan. 14-18. The package includes a beginner lift ticket, rental and 1 hour, 45 minute lesson. Available to ages 7 and up, no reservations required. Lessons are at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

"It can be tempting to have your friends try and teach you to ski or snowboard," said Diamond Peak Ski and Snowboard School Director Carl Hill. "But the absolute best way for new skiers and riders to learn the necessary skills and to start off on the right foot is for them to go with a pro. We'll teach you proper technique and eliminate potentially bad habits from the start.

"You'll learn, you'll have more fun, and hopefully you'll come back and do it all over again."
